Israel bombed the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza, killing more than 500 people including patients,

CONTEXT
On 17th October, the 11th day of Israel’s bombardments on the besieged Gaza Strip, Israel
bombed the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza, killing more than 500 people including patients,
doctors & those seeking refuge.
Gaza is home to 2.3 million Palestinians (1.1 million children) and is one of the world’s most
densely populated places. Israel has held it under siege for 17 years. In the last 11 days
Israel has dropped thousands of bombs on the imprisoned population, estimated to be the
equivalent force of a quarter of a nuclear bomb. Human rights experts have also confirmed
the use of the internationally-banned weapon, white phosphorus.
On 15 October 2023, over 800 scholars and practitioners of international law, conflict
studies and genocide studies signed a public statement warning of the possibility of
genocide being perpetrated by Israeli forces against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Signatories include prominent Holocaust and genocide studies scholars.
“As scholars and practitioners of international law, conflict studies and genocide studies, we
are compelled to sound the alarm about the possibility of the crime of genocide being
perpetrated by Israeli forces against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. We do not do so lightly,
recognising the weight of this crime, but the gravity of the current situation demands it.”
We recognise their concerns and say #STOPTHEGENOCIDE to prevent further death and
destruction NOW.
